Here's an interesting bit of news.

Montague -- builders of the military "Hummer" bikes -- has announced a new type of wheel quick release. Pacific announced they'll use Montague's new QR on next year's Schwinn, GT, and Mongoose bikes.

Before you snicker too much about Wal-Goose Bike-Shaped-Objects, realize that GT bikes are now sold only through the IBD channel. There are no GT bikes sold in the mass market channel (e.g. Wal-Mart) any longer.

Unfortunately, no details of this new style of quick release are available.
